SBAC Item Types-Not the same old test
Thumbnail Assessment Design Comparison: Smarter-Balanced vs. Current ISAT
Current ISAT is 100% multiple choice, SBAC is…….
Computer adaptive, selected response Technology enhanced,[drag and click] Constructed response [paragraph or two]
Emphasis on Performance Assessment [@50% of SBAC tests]: Performance tasks, multiple standards inform, use texts, video, speaking,
listening, writing Sample items and Content Specifications docs:

SBAC-Evidence Centered Design: Wheel=Claim, Spoke=Target, Hub=CCSS[ELA/Literacy]
Thumbnail Assessment Design Comparison: Smarter-Balanced vs. Current ISAT
Wheel/Claim-an assertion needing evidence
Spokes/Assessment Targets-Informed by one or more standards, provide evidence/support
Hub/CCSS- it all starts here, inform targets
Evidence Centered Design: Claim/target [ELA/Literacy]
Thumbnail Assessment Design Comparison: Smarter-Balanced vs. Current ISAT
Claim 1: Students can read closely and analytically to comprehend a range of increasingly complex literary and informational text.
Target 4: Reasoning and Evaluation-use supporting evidence to justify/explain inference
Target 4 informed by Standards:RL-2, RL-3, RL-6
All items are written to the ASSESSMENT TARGETS-targets are informed by one or more standards or parts of standards, targets provide evidence to support the claim
Test Design Contrast: Current ISAT Design[Mathematics]
Thumbnail Assessment Design Comparison: Smarter-Balanced vs. Current ISAT
Content area: Mathematics is the trunk/whole tree
Standard 1: Number and Operations [a big branch]
Goal 2: Understand and use numbers [smaller branch]
Objective 3: Count value of collection of bills and coins up to $10.00 [gr.4] [finer grain-a twig]
ALL ISAT items are written to the Objective level
SBAC-Evidence Centered Design: Wheel=Claim, Spoke=Target, Hub=CCSS[Math]
Thumbnail Assessment Design Comparison: Smarter-Balanced vs. Current ISAT
Wheel/Claim-an assertion needing evidence
Spokes/Assess.Targets•Claim 1 informed by clusters [1 or> Stand].•Claims 2,3,4 derived from Math Practices --[evidence/support ]
Hub/CCSS- it all starts here, inform targets
Evidence Centered Design: Claim/target [Math]
Thumbnail Assessment Design Comparison: Smarter-Balanced vs. Current ISAT
Claim 1: Concepts and Procedures: Students can explain and apply math concepts and carry out math procedures with precision and fluency
Target 1: Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division
Target 1 informed by Standards 1,2,3, and 4 [grade 3]
All items are written to the ASSESSMENT TARGETS-targets for math claim one are informed by clusters which encompass one or more standards or parts of standards, targets provide evidence to support the claim
